Blind Date: Take Two

Remember how we had a guys' choice dance and NO ONE went? Well, this month we had a girls' choice dance, and TONS of people went. So you can see how many of us girls are dying to date...and getting nothing.
I didn't know who I should ask to the dance, so naturally I consulted my friend who knows everything there is to know about anyone. I figured she would know who had been asked and who hadn't been asked and who wanted to be asked. Consulting with her was the right decision, because she said, "Hey, I have a friend I think you would get along really well with. I'll set you up." So she asked said friend, whom we'll call Walter, if he would go with me. Then I awkwardly called him and asked him.
BLIND DATE TAKE TWO: COMMENCE!!!!
Why was I so willing to try another blind date after the last situation? Well, I figured I might as well give it a shot.
Kylie and two friends decided to ask 3 roommates. Needless to say, they were flattered and shocked to be asked. The 3 girls asked them at their apartment and held up signs with their names on them. One of the guys had just woken up and the next morning he probably thought the whole thing was a dream. Also, me, my know-everything friend, and a crazy guy in the ward whom we'll call Roger, were watching from the staircase during the whole asking process like a bunch of creepers.
So bring on Friday night and a very strange situation: 3 flattered roommates, one blind date, and one crazy couple Kylie had invited to come with us. We started off the evening by playing games such as "Oink, Piggy, Oink" (minus the sitting in the lap part), and Smurf. We ate some treats and then headed to the dance. Happily, Walter is on the ballroom dance team, so he really knew how to dance. Well, I guess he didn't really know how to "normal" dance, but he taught me some sweet ballroom moves. The 3 roommates (2 of whom just got back from their missions) awkwardly tried to cut a rug. Kylie's date, whom we'll call Ralph, was actually quite the crazy dancer.
And how was my date, you may ask? Was he friendly? Yes. Was he easy to talk to? Yes. Was he considerate? Yes. Has he called me or made any attempt to contact me after the date? No.
But hey, at least I got a fun night out of it all. And I can't deny, the doorstep scene with a million people was pretty priceless.
Blind date attempt 2? Success.
Blind date attempt 3? We shall see.
